Vic FirthAmerican Classic® Drumsticks 55A - American Hickory - Wood Tip

The black coated sticks were just dandy. Nice weight. solid feel. Only complaint I would give is. The sticks were what I expected, but the packaging was ridiculous. To send 2 pairs of sticks in a 45cm x 35cm x18cm box was in my opinion ludicrous. Surely a 45 x 4cm x4cm would have sufficed. A piece of foam at each end to keep sticks from moving. The saving over a year would raise profits and also help the environment and the forests.

Really nice and evenly weighted sticks.I ordered 2 pairs and as nice as they are to use they all broke really fast and all at the base of the neck of the stick. my cheap sticks of the same size have outlasted these in terms of usage.

After trying nearly every brand available for drumsticks, Vic Firth are definitely my favourite.They are smooth to hold and comfortable but very hard wearing.They are worth paying a little extra for.

Gave these a punt and like them. Great for funk and latin american stuff.Great amazon price too!Would give more stars, but amazon are really doing their part to destroy the planet with the packaging for drumsticks.....MASSIVE box!

Fantastic for the style of music I play (which would be both hard rock and metal, more commonly) and they look sweet too!It's a shame that the paint eventually wears off and makes the sticks look worn out after many many months of use, but hey, sticks aren't meant to last forever. I may just have to get myself a new pair!

Ordered at midday on Saturday, arrived midday Sunday !! Fantastic product, fantastic service, amazon is the best shopping website at the moment, sturdy sticks, well packaged, big box so that even in an accident the sticks would be protected, will order again,Vic firths a quality product.

Feel comfortable , look good and they take a beating, what more could you ask for

Bit light, but very strong

Al principio me parece que no tiene mucho agarre pero es solo una cuestión de agarrarle el truco y son unas gran baquetas

Purchased these for my son based on the recommendation of his drums tutor. The sticks are awesome and he loves them.

I use these on my electric drum set and out of my little stick collection, these are the lightest and coolest looking.

Buenas baquetas. El acostumbrado acabado y calidad de Vic Firth. Esta medida es un intermedio entre 5A y 5B. Recomendadas.

A Quick Background:Vic Firth is always my go-to for drumsticks, and they always will be. I played drums for jazz band, snare, quads and bass drum for marching band, percussion for concert band in college and I serve on the worship team at my church playing drum set, percussion and cajon. I've acquired some 8 years playing anything with sticks and taught them to over 30 children for 5 years.Review:The 5A series is an amazing drum stick. They are well balanced, high quality, durable sticks for the child and the grown man alike. I use my sticks so much that they generally last a few weeks tops (I average 1-2 hours a day), so I need to be making the most of them. I love the look of the sticks with the black coating. I am ordering my.... I think... 13th? pair right now. I have yet to receive a pair of sticks that weren't equally made. (By placing the sticks next to your ear and tapping the wood, you will hear a pitch and both sticks should have the same pitch.) At first, I was worried they would be too slick in the hand, but I've noticed that I have better grip with the coating. The coating will chip off over time as you hit cymbals and play rim shots or rim clicks. I've been using these current sticks for a week and you can see the use on them (the other stick is the standard 5A that I used for about 15 days). The wood is made from Hickory- a very light, durable wood with a slight flex for a more pronounced sound. The tips are deeply back-cut allowing for great cymbal response, especially on my ride.
